BeMiceElf's 95' Pickup Build
Back in 2009 I bought myself another Toyota.
This is how it started out. The only picture that I have of it when I got it.
It did not stay that way very long. It seems as though my money always ends up in a Toyota.
I wish I had taken more pictures over the past 3 years, but I always would seem to forget.
Specs:
Engine
- Stock 3vze
Suspension
- Removed Sway Bar
- ProComp Shocks
- Wheeler's Off Road 3 Leaf Progressive Add A Leaf
- Daystar Front Bump Stops
Drivetrain
- Factory 4.56 Gears
- Detroit TrueTrac - Front
- Aussie Locker - Rear
Armor
- Badland Front Bumper
- Curley's Racecars Rear Bumper
- C.B.I. Swing Away Tire Carrier
- Rocky Road Outfitters Super Sliders
- BudBuilt IFS Skid Plate
Tires
- BFG 33x10.50 KM2's
Recovery
- Warn M8000
- Master Pull Synthetic Winch Line
- 48" Hi-Lift Jack
Lighting
- Hella 500's Converted to H.I.D.
- IPF Back-Up Light
- Go-Light
- IPF H4 Headlight Conversion
- IPF H4 Wiring Harness

Finally got some work done on the truck.
Took out the interior and attempted to installed the vinyl floor. I managed to screw that up and ended up throwing it away.
While I had the carpet out I gave it a good cleaning. I could not believe the color of the water that was coming from it. It was nasty.
Once the carpet was done I started to put in the bucket seats that I got out of a 4Runner. The drivers side lined up correctly except for the front inside bolt. That was an easy fix since there was a hole already in the correct position. The passenger side was a different story. For some reason it just did not want to line up at all, so I just ended up using the original one I had since it was originally a split-bench. I also put on the seat covers that I got from Cabela's.
Once all that was done, I moved on to the center console and shifter knobs.
The console went in fairly easily and now I have some storage space. I also installed my new Boston Acoustic speakers in the dash, while I had everything torn apart. I am really happy with how it all turned out. I still need to do some more cleaning.
I also found a used Budbuilt skid plate on craigslist a while back for $160. FedEx managed to loose it for a couple of weeks and then it just showed up one day. I put it on for a test fit before I clean it up and slap some new paint on it. I had to install it in front of my bumper so the rear bolts would line up correctly.
I also started to put in my Autopal headlights, but they won't fit correctly. It seems as though the "lip" around the light is not thick enough for the bracket to secure them in place. I tightened them down as much as i could, but they just rattle around. I am not sure what I am going to do about that yet.
